The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “All of the other properties, financial assets and belongings of the parties hereto, whether separate or community, not specifically set aside to the defendant [Norbert Buys] under Paragraph I. above shall be and is hereby specifically set apart, assigned, given, granted and conveyed to plaintiff [Aleñe Buys] as the separate property of the plaintiff herein and the defendant herein expressly releases, assigns, gives, grants and conveys to the plaintiff herein all the defendant’s right title and interest in and to the property hereby set apart to Plaintiff that he now has or may have, free of and waiving any and all claims at law or in equity that he has or may have, in whole or in part to such property. The agreement did not specifically mention military retirement benefits. The rest of the agreement, read as a whole, has nothing to conflict with giving the residuary clause its plain meaning.”
